A machine implemented system and method that efficiently facilitates and effectuates exact similarity joins between collections of sets. The system and method obtains a collection of sets and a threshold value from an interface, and based at least in part on an identifiable similarity, such as an overlap or intersection, between the collection of sets the analysis component generates and outputs a candidate pair that at least equals or exceeds the threshold value.
